Additional optional devices, such as freeze, water, smoke and heat sensors

are not part of the iControl Starter Kit.
Pictures window Here you will see thumbnails of pictures or video from
each of your iControl cameras. In the Summary page shown earlier, three
thumbnails are shown, as three cameras are active. If your hover the cursor over
a thumbnail, the name of the associated camera is displayed. You can also click
on the thumbnail and it will expand. From there you can take a new picture, view
past pictures, watch live video and delete pictures.
Alarm History This window shows the record of the alarms recognized by
the devices installed in your iControl System. An alarm occurs whenever a
device detects a change, such as a door/window sensor detecting a door open or
a motion sensor detects movement. (These are the only two types alarms
available from the devices in the Starter Kit. Other optional devices provide
alarms for freezing, water leakage, etc. and these devices will be offered in the
future). For each change, it shows the time of the alarm. Each item in the alarm
history has a yellow triangle next to it, indicating that it is an alarm.
You can click on any change to learn more about the device. Use the scroll bar
on the right to scroll down the events. The Alarm History only saves the last 7
days of alarms.
Pending Updates window This window shows the changes that you made
to your IContol box or devices. They will be implemented the next time your
iControl box communicates with the iControl servers.
